Field of Dreams

Chuck Clough leads Brea Kiwanis' efforts to gain city and community approval for an event to honor fallen hero's in November on Veterans Day. The event will be held at the downtown park adjacent to the Brea Plunge. It is an ambitious project to sell and display up to 1500 flags to those wanting to honor the memory of specific local area hero's.

To be successful we will need detail planning and involve the community for support. Chuck has developed support from the city council but we will need the support of all club members to make it happen.

The Brea Kiwanis Board approved the event to be developed to the next level. The effort will involve nearly all if not all the club membership to work on committees to make this signature event successful. To be successful we also will need to involve the community to bring the project together.

Ralph's Community Contributions Program

A link with steps to register/re-register for the Ralphs Community Contributions Program is located in the left column. This program has generated about $100 for the use of our club.  Please consider shopping at Ralphs for the rewards that can be deposited to our Kiwanis Club of Brea.

Well this past week we have been getting ready for fundraisers that will take place after finals week. We are planning our DCON trips and will hold monthly meetings going over all the dress codes and regulations for DCON.

At present we have 8 members signed up to go to DCON. We are also getting ready to bring in the new office for the 2013-2014 term and will be commencing interviews next week.

We would like to thank Kiwanis for their kind donation towards DCON and I hope that they will continue to be generous to Key Club for many years to come.
